Christening Girl - Inspirational post

Another inspirational post, this time using Karleigh Sue Christening (Girl)

Because of the nature of this beautiful image I felt it called for some lacy parchment work.
So I printed her onto parchment 

(I lightened the image first as parchment work is generally outlined in white)

Then with my polychromos I added some colour to her face and hands.
I embossed the design to add the white shading to give it depth.
Perforated the whole image with my 2 needle tool then snipped her out.
On another piece of parchment I perforated and embossed a grid pattern.

then cut it out. (for more info on the grids used check my blog)  

I stuck the baby on top with some hi tack glue
Embossed and perforated some flowers from another grid

and 'sprinkled' them around the card

I really enjoyed making this project.

Kind Regards
Theresa
